It amazes me how far small things travel when they drop or break off from something.

It's so simple, I can't believe no one else has figured it out yet.

They simply go into "never-never-land."

Where they are never-never to be found again.

Those lost boys must be having way too much fun with them to return them.

And our socks? Well, Tic-Toc Croc needs something to muffle the sound so she can sleep at night.

The cleaning service was coming and I had a loco out, measuring it to create patch decals.  I moved it out of their way and haven't seen it in 2 months.

OK, so ... where do these things go?  To heaven (or the other place)?  Have I accidentally been modeling with my mouth open and swallowed them?  Do spiders rush out and grab them and take them back into the dark corners? 

OK.... I have to come clean. It's me.

I use a little known "Black magic" spell, and cast it over the entire planet.

If a tiny part "bounce's , at least once, my spell go's into effect. And the part's are Tele-ported into my spare part's box....

It's the only way I can "create" all the stuff I want, ... without buying a bunch of stuff. ( I have saved $ Hundred's $ over the year's .)

But now that I have "Exposed" myself as the Evil Villain, I'm going to have to be even Sneekier......

BUAH  HA HA HA HA HA  !!!!

Rust...... It's a good thing !

Ok here's another "variation" of the dryer phenomena, socks appear that dont match ANY other socks in the household.

I've had this hit before, I was assembling a Accurail gondola, cutting the stirrups off the sprue, when one goes flying off into... Never-Neverland.
